Taxation Reform The American public hopes that the rumor of the selection of Gen. Dawes by President-elect Harding to head a commission which will reorganize government offices and methods will materialize in fact, for its results will be seen in a reduction of federal expenses and a resulting decrease in the tax rate. There was a time when the people paid little attention to taxes, because, compared with European countries, our levies were relatively small,

but the imposition of heavy taxes during the wa has taught the public that even a very rich nation may suffer under this burden. All of us know that we pay taxes directly or indirectly. The man who makes no return may believe that he escapes payment, but he fails to notice the payments he makes when he buys medicines, sodas, and countless other things upon which a revenue tax is affixed. Neither does he stop to consider that a heavy burden is figured in the cost of the commodities which he buys. In casting about for relief, the people have urged congress to reduce appropriations, but the five billion dollars which already have been appropriated shows that little relief may be expected from that quarter. A thorough revision of the business methods of the government also has been demanded as a remedial measure. The costly method of transacting government business in Washington, the presence of scores of commissions and bureaus whose duties overlap, the inefficiency of thou

sands who occupy clerical positions, and many!

not unknown to the public. No determined effort to change this system has so far been made. If President-elect Harding has in mind a thorough housecleaning, the American people will be delighted to know that millions of their money, now spent without getting maximum results, will be saved. Gen. Dawes possesses the qualifications both from the standpoint of business and courage to undertake this herculean task. He will have behind him ,the solid support of the taxpayers who want the government to practice the same economy which the average citizen is compelled to apply to his own affairs.

The Advisory Board of the Salvation Army An advisory board has been appointed to cooperate with the local branch of the Salvation Army in the successful administration of its affairs. The board will link the work of the Army to the needs of the community, and by virtue of

its knowledge of local conditions will be able to

assist materially in the execution of the tasks which the organization has set for itself. The Salvation Army has been one of the great

relief organizations of the world, and was, perhaps, the first organized effort to extend, the

hand of succor to the man or woman who had fallen into disgrace or want. Its work during the

World war endeared it to thousands of young

Americans, who returned home with warm hearts

for the benevolent purposes of the organization

The advisory board will make an intelligent study of social ills and report cases of economic and social distress that come under the province

of the Army. It will not duplicate work being i

done by other agencies, but will co-operate in j

offering help to those in distress. Advisory boards have been appointed in many counties of Indiana and other states to make effective the program which the Salvation Army hopes to carry out.

Answers to Questions

HORSESHOES A-PLENTY There are men who never go by a horseshoe it means good luck! Elbert Hubbard was one of thein. One bracing fall day he was walking along the road that led from the village in. which he lived, to his farm, two miles out of town. As he trudged along he saw a horseshoe in the middle of the road he picked it up and instantly his "psychic sky began to brighten!" lie walked along for a while, no doubt exercising mentally as well as physically, when suddenly at a turn he saw another horseshoe in the road. "'Everything is cominj my way," he said, picking up the second horseshoe. He now had one in each hand. , He had gone about a quarter of a mile when he saw two more horseshoes right together in the road. "It looks a3 though somebody is working me," he said, looking around. He could see no one. "Anyway, I accept the bluff," he said to himself as he picked up the two horseshoes. Then he had two horseshoes in each hand, but he wasn't four times as happy as when he had one. He had gone about a quarter of a mila when he saw a pile of horseshoes in the road. "I've got 'em got 'em bad. I fear." he said to himself. However, brushing his eyes, pinching himself and bracing up, he walked up to the pile of horseshoes and kicked into them. They certainly were horseshoes. Just then he saw a man coming down the road picking up horseshoes in a bag. He watched him with dazed eyes and swallowed hard as he tried to comprehend the meaning of this strange combination. And then he saw the man's horse and wagon ahead. The gentleman was a iunkman. and had lost the tailboard out of his

wagon and had been strewing horseshoes all along the way. He called to i meeting of opposing currents of air.

(2) After a man is in jail and has learned some trade for which he is paid, can he send the money to his family and buy tobacco and othfr things for himself?

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author cf "You Can", "Take It", "Up-. "I AM ONLY ONE" What a big world we live in even though it is hut a speck in comparison to other heavenly bodies. How small we look and seem as we go down the crowded street but one of thousands! But when you stop to think and remember that the very vehicle on which you ride, the elevator in which you go to your office, the electric lights which enable you to read and improve your mind in the midst of ease and convenience, the telephone at your elbow with which you may hear your friend's voice across a thousand miles that these and scores of other inventions are the products of individual units like yourself, you may take heart and strive anew. You may say that you are "only one" but Jesus, Cromwell. Lincoln, Franklin, were only one! It just happens, however, that the more individual and the more sympathetic and the more desirous for service a man becomes, the truer is it that he becomes a thousand, or a million individuals bounded as one. And so he thinks in the terms of them. "I am only one but thre has never been anyone exactly like me!" You may say that with sincere truthfulness. Think of your opportunity. Take an invoice of your abilities. And then go ahead and do what you do better than it has ever been done before. Let that be your ideal. I came across a very apt quotation from Edward Everett Hale the other day. It fits the idea of this brief Talk. Here it is: "I am only one but still I AM one. I cannot do everything, but still I CAN do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do!"

Elbert Hubbard and said: "Hey, ol' man. dem's my horseshoes!" "I know," he said, "I've been picking them up for you." And the moral is this: While it is true that one horseshoe brings you good luck, a load of horseshoes is junk. Also, the man who starts out with health, common sense, ambition and the postage-stamp habit of sticking on the job to the end has horseshoes aplenty. Any more, such as a rich father, a fat inheritance or a "soft snap" are liable to weigh him down with so much junk he runs the risk of making no headway.
